TBC Classic Blacksmithing Profession and Leveling 1-375 Guide

Blacksmithing is typically used by Plate armor wearers and those who utilize Physical DPS weapons as the gear you can craft with Blacksmithing is very strong and some of the items you are able to make will be instantly soulbound to the crafter.

Mining is a great complement to Blacksmithing, as having mining will allow you to farm the vast majority of materials you will need to both train and utilize blacksmithing for crafted items in the endgame. Due to the amount of bars used to craft items near max skill level, it can get extremely costly very quickly; having mining greatly mitigates this cost.

You may also find that Blacksmithing can be used to complement your goldmaking in TBC Classic. For more information on this among other methods involving alternative professions, please see our separate guide on the topic:
